Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mississippi State Cases, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Criminal Cases Decided in the High Court of Errors and Appeals, and in the Supreme Court of the State of Mississippi; From the June Term 1818 to the First Monday in January 1872 Br an Act of the Mississippi hgislature, approved February 2-1, 1854, the Attorney General was authorized to report anew the decisions in criminal cases, contained in these twenty-five volumes of Mississippi Reports. When the compiler of the pres ent volumes succeeded to the office of Attorney General, in the winter of 1869 the work so authorized had not yet ap peared. He was informed that Mr. Attorney General Glenn had, in his lifetime, commenced it but the result of his labors had been lost then, and it was not known, even by the most intimate friends of that distinguished gentleman, to what extent it had progressed. In the meantime the number of the volumes of the current series of the decisions of the appellate court, from which the criminal cases for the compilation were to be taken, had increased from twenty-five to forty-three. Recognizing the increased demand for the work, the legislature passed An Act to authorize a compilation of criminal laws, approved July 17, 1870, the pro visions of which are in all respects similar to the first, except that the cases to be reported anew are the cases contained in all Che volumes of Mississippi Reports; or such and so many of said decisions, as the Attorney General shall deem of sufficient importance, etc. It is under the authority of the act last mentioned that these two volumes of Mississippi State Cases are presented to the profession. The two volumes contain in' a condensed and con venient form for reference and use, all the criminal cases of value ever reported, from the first. Term of the Supreme Court, in June, 1818, to the October term, 1871. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mississippi State Cases, Vol. 2 of 2: Being Criminal Cases Decided in the High Court of Errors and Appeals, and in the Supreme Court, of the State of Mississippi, From the June Term 1818 to the First Monday in January 1872, Inclusive In the winter of 1828-9 he abandoned the life of a schoolmaster, entered the law 0600 Of the celebrated Robert J. Walker at Natchez, and devoted all his energies to the study Of law. In the June follow ing, alone, on horseback, he made his way across the country about one himdred miles to Monticello, where the Supreme Court of the State was then in session, and there applied for and Obtained an examination as to his qualifications and a license to practic'e law. Returning to Natchez, he was taken into partnership in practice with General Felix Huston, at that time one Of the most distinguished larvae of the State. And it was then immediaw discovered that the few years he had devoted to legal study had been years Of noble and splendid achievement. Twenty-one yeam afterward, when the grave had just closed over his honored remains, his friend and kindred spirit, Joseph J. Brennan, himself a lofty and dazzling genius, alluding to the advent of young Prentiss as an advocate, said A weak and debilitated boy, with gentle lisp, and supported by a sustaining cane, was soon seen stealing away the technical hearts of stem judges, or weaving seductive tales in the honest ears of sworn jurymen. Re sistless as the penetrating breeze, his juvenile eloquence searched every avenue Of thought and feeling. The classic page and the varied mass Of modern literature were conveniently stored away in the massive caverns Of his broad and fertile intellect. A close train of didactic reasoning on the most abstruse legal topics, was lit up with the pyrotechnic fires Of fancy. The most ordinary incidents Of life, the merest common-places, were caught on the wings Of his imagina tion, and blended and efl'ectively commingled in his illustrative ora tory with the boldest and most gorgeous metaphors.

Download or read book The Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission written by Yasuhiro Katagiri and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1956, two years after the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously outlawed legally imposed racial segregation in public schools, Mississippi created the State Sovereignty Commission. This was the executive agency established “to protect the sovereignty of the State of Mississippi . . . from encroachment thereon by the Federal Government.” The code word encroachment implied the state's strong resolve to preserve and protect the racial status quo. In the nomenclature the formality of the word sovereignty supposedly lent dignity to the actions of the Commission. For all practical purposes the Sovereignty Commission intended to wage this Deep South state's monolithic resistance to desegregation and to the ever-intensifying crusade for civil rights in Mississippi. In 1998 the papers of the Commission were made available for examination. No other state has such extensive and detailed documentary records from a similar agency. Exposed to public light, they unmasked the Commission as a counterrevolutionary department for political and social intrigue that infringed on individual constitutional rights and worked toward discrediting the civil rights movement by tarnishing the reputations of activists. As the eyes of the citizenry studied the records, the Commission slid from sovereign and segregated to unsavory and abominable. This book, the first to give a comprehensive history of this watchdog agency, shows how, to this day, the Sovereignty Commission remains obscure, debated, and for many citizens a star chamber of the most sinister sort. Why was the Commission created? What were some of the political and social climates that initiated its creation? What were its activities during its seventeen years? What was its impact on the course of Mississippi and southern history? Drawing on the newly opened materials at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, this examination gives answers to such questions and traces the vicissitudes that took the Commission from governmental limelight to public opprobrium. This book also looks at the attitudes of the state's white citizenry, who, upon realizing the Commission's failure, saw the importance of a nonviolent accommodation of civil rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Legal History of Mississippi: Race, Class, and the Struggle for Opportunity, legal scholar Joseph A. Ranney surveys the evolution of Mississippi’s legal system and analyzes the ways in which that system has changed during the state’s first two hundred years. Through close research, qualitative analysis, published court decisions, statutes, and law review articles, along with unusual secondary sources including nineteenth-century political and legal journals and journals of state constitutional conventions, Ranney indicates how Mississippi law has both shaped and reflected the state’s character and, to a certain extent, how Mississippi’s legal evolution compares with that of other states. Ranney examines the interaction of Mississippi law and society during key periods of change including the colonial and territorial eras and the early years of statehood when the legal foundations were laid; the evolution of slavery and slave law in Mississippi; the state’s antebellum role as a leader of Jacksonian legal reform; the unfolding of the response to emancipation and wartime devastation during Reconstruction and the early Jim Crow era; Mississippi’s legal evolution during the Progressive Era and its legal response to the crisis of the Great Depression; and the legal response to the civil rights revolution of the mid-twentieth century and the cultural revolutions of the late twentieth century. Histories of the law in other states are starting to appear, but there is none for Mississippi. Ranney fills that gap to help us better understand the state as it enters its third century.

Book excerpt: “For almost two decades, investigative journalist Jerry Mitchell doggedly pursued the Klansmen responsible for some of the most notorious murders of the civil rights movement. This book is his amazing story. Thanks to him, and to courageous prosecutors, witnesses, and FBI agents, justice finally prevailed.” —John Grisham, author of The Guardians On June 21, 1964, more than twenty Klansmen murdered three civil rights workers. The killings, in what would become known as the “Mississippi Burning” case, were among the most brazen acts of violence during the civil rights movement. And even though the killers’ identities, including the sheriff’s deputy, were an open secret, no one was charged with murder in the months and years that followed. It took forty-one years before the mastermind was brought to trial and finally convicted for the three innocent lives he took. If there is one man who helped pave the way for justice, it is investigative reporter Jerry Mitchell. In Race Against Time, Mitchell takes readers on the twisting, pulse-racing road that led to the reopening of four of the most infamous killings from the days of the civil rights movement, decades after the fact. His work played a central role in bringing killers to justice for the assassination of Medgar Evers, the firebombing of Vernon Dahmer, the 16th Street Church bombing in Birmingham and the Mississippi Burning case. Mitchell reveals how he unearthed secret documents, found long-lost suspects and witnesses, building up evidence strong enough to take on the Klan. He takes us into every harrowing scene along the way, as when Mitchell goes into the lion’s den, meeting one-on-one with the very murderers he is seeking to catch. His efforts have put four leading Klansmen behind bars, years after they thought they had gotten away with murder. Race Against Time is an astonishing, courageous story capturing a historic race for justice, as the past is uncovered, clue by clue, and long-ignored evils are brought into the light. This is a landmark book and essential reading for all Americans.
